I really think that would be a FAB gathering and might give me the courage I need to meet face to face. I do, by the way, meet the beautiful, be-muscled (from all that building work - only joking !) Julie Cloth Shed in the flesh & she's lovely.

Nilly, I'm sorry to disappoint but... it is only a pretend party. I would love you you all to come, if only to scoff all the Ferrero Rocher choccies I've been hoarding for just such an occasion as this.

Julie I would naturally invite second phase, so after the shenanigans she could go around inspecting the footings and kicking the skirting boards. Her hard hat would go down a storm.

Cro, you can sit next to the fragrant Elaine as long as your heart desires. Her chaperon Mr OW will sit knitting betwixt and between, looking for all the world like Madame Defarge. His aim is two-fold; first and foremost, he has his eyes on the part of Widow Twanky at this year's Wisbech pantomime; added to which his sister's good name down at the Frog and Tadpole in Peterborough is paramount.
